Patient's question:
Hello, I had an abortion about forty days ago. The second day after the procedure, I only felt some weakness and slight pain in my right leg, but it wasn't very painful. In the following days, my right leg has been feeling tired. However, since the abortion, I haven't experienced any bleeding. Sometimes, I feel a bit uncomfortable on the right side of my abdomen, as if it's slightly painful but not really. I haven't gone to the hospital for a follow-up check-up since the abortion. My period arrived normally about a month after the procedure, but the flow was slightly heavier than usual. I saw on this website that most people who have had abortions have gone for follow-up check-ups, but I haven't. Is there a problem with what I've described?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, you should rest in bed for 2-3 days. After that, you can get up and move around, gradually increasing the duration of activity.Within the first half month after the miscarriage, avoid heavy physical labor and cold-water work, and avoid getting cold. Pay attention to increasing nutrition to enhance the body's resistance to disease and promote the early recovery of damaged organs.
After a miscarriage, you should eat more protein-rich foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and soy products, as well as fresh vegetables rich in vitamins, to speed up your recovery.
